Mornings can be tricky. You may like to imagine yourself leisurely taking yourself through stretches, scribbling peacefully in your gratitude journal, and sipping tea from your luxuriously soft white sheets, the reality is that most mornings you\u2019re more likely to silently curse your alarm clock and groggily fiddle with the coffee machine before you can even think about taking time for yourself at some point during the day.<\/p>\n
The beginning of anything is a powerful time to create the tone for what we hope to come. Set an intention for what we hope to accomplish. It\u2019s the reason why we make resolutions at the New Year. It\u2019s also why we take a prolonged, and often pivotal, pause at the start of each yoga class. And, as we\u2019re learning more and more with recent research, it\u2019s why we need to take a few minutes for ourselves each morning as we begin the day.<\/p>\n
What if setting your intention for your day was as simple as stretching your body first thing in the morning? And what if you didn\u2019t even need to get out of bed to do that? Simply stretching in your bed for a few minutes right after waking up can have a profound impact on the rest of your day, and this 5-pose sequence will help you do just that.<\/p>\n
By taking the time to move gently first thing in the day, you\u2019re sending a subconscious message that self-care is your priority. And remember, there\u2019s never a perfect scenario. You don\u2019t need 30 minutes, a quiet house, or chanting in the background. You just need yourself.<\/p>\n
